In my opinion Monsters University is very underrated and one of the best Pixar films of recent years. I still watch it every once in a while. Sure the plot may be a bit bland, but the charming world and characters very much make up for it. The last 30 Minutes of the movie are spectacular and feature some of the best suspense I have every seen in an animated film. What are your guys thoughts on the movie now that a few years have past since it came out?

It absolutely still holds up in our opinion as well. it's one of our favorites to throw on and just have on while working. You can't do this with all of them - you can't turn on Up - I always feel like I have to be invested because of the weight of the film. So, between the fun aspect of MU and the colors and characters - we still love it!

I can honestly say I've never heard pipped to the post before as an expression...but I looked it up and I like it! You learn something new every day - before this Mr. Potato Head would probably say that I was an "uncultured swine"!

Heh! Glad you like it. Seems to be more of a UK expression. (Any impressions of 'cultured' are greatly exaggerated. )

After watching both Monsters films, I've sometimes thought that the first would be a good candidate for 'remastering'. I remember old documentary snippets about how the hair physics for MI were revolutionary, and I don't want to rubbish that achievement, but I think the rendering and even the animation looks a wee bit dated compared to MU. I personally think MU could rival The Good Dinosaur in the looks department - it's just the brighter colours of the monster world and relatively smaller areas of the MU campus that limit it, IMO! Imagine the story of Monsters Inc. with Monsters University (Renderman?) rendering.

I don't hold my breath though, and I'm pretty ignorant of how something like that might happen anyway. Polishing up or overlaying the animation frames? Re-animating the whole thing from scratch...?
